Find a Physical Therapist Near Me in San Diego, CA

I am passionate about helping women have strong, active, and comfortable pregnancies, maximizing empowerment in labor, and helping women recover optimally postpartum. I utilize all my training as a physical therapist and my post-doctoral training in pregnancy and the pelvic floor to help women keep a strong core/body, eliminate pain during pregnancy, and prevent common problems like bladder leakage, back pain, core weakness, prolapse, and Diastasis Recti. I completed my Doctorate of Physical Therapy in 2011 and worked several years in outpatient orthopedics while pursuing specialization in pelvic floor dysfunction and women’s health PT. Even prior to having my first baby in 2016 I had deep compassion for the unspoken physical trials of new mothers, which fostered the desire to offer natural, conservative treatment options for issues that uniquely impact women. I founded SHEFit because I believe that quality care requires personalized, one-on-one attention. I and my team are dedicated to hearing your story and creating a treatment plan based on your unique situation, goals, and priorities. Each PT on my staff has completed hundreds of hours of pregnancy and pelvic floor related continuing education, and is an expert in this field. In an effort to spread the word about pelvic PT, I periodically lecture for fitness professionals, healthcare professionals, birth centers, and the public throughout San Diego County. When not treating patients I enjoy time with my 3 children, running, pilates , weightlifting, hiking, cycling on the boardwalk, travelling, and just relaxing in the San Diego sunshine!

Hey there! My name is Ariel Gallop and I’m a doctor of physical therapy with specialized training in pelvic therapy. I grew up in Austin, Texas but moved to California for the beach bonfires (and grad school). I got into the PT profession after getting into a pretty bad boating accident. I was in PT for over a year relearning to walk and got to see many different types of PT. I was fascinated by the various facets of PT. I love getting to meet people where they are and walk alongside them on their journey to living their best life. I am passionate about pelvic therapy because it provides a holistic approach to treat all people with inclusive care that finds the driver of their pain or dysfunction. I started Restore Pelvic Therapy because I wanted to be able to provide patient centric care, that is evidence based, and alter my plan of care based on what the patients need instead of what was strictly outlined by insurance companies. My passion in life is getting to work with people to improve their function in order to fully participate in life’s best moments. I want you to always feel empowered and heard. I am passionate about pelvic therapy because I believe everyone should live a symptom free life with dignity and without having to settle for "living with it". At Restore Pelvic Therapy we treat everything from male or female pelvic pain, urinary stress or fecal incontinence, urgency and frequency, constipation or IBS, prolapse or hernias, people that are pregnant or postpartum, DRA (diastasis recti), painful bladder syndrome, pelvic congestion syndrome, post abdominal or pelvic surgeries (i.e. excision surgery, hysterectomy, prostatectomy, C-section, etc) and more! When I’m not working, you’ll find me hiking, reading the next book club hit, walking along the beach listening to true crime podcasts, or biking around looking for the best burrito.

Hello, I've been practicing women's health since 2000 and am among the first cohort to be board certified in Women's Health Physical Therapy. Women may experience abdominal or pelvic floor issues due to too much or too little tone and muscle strength and this can happen simultaneously. The real question I like to address is what is the primary cause that triggered this cascade of events. Often times problems don't resolve because there is another issue happening somewhere else in the fascial system causing these problems. The skills I am proficient in to address these problems are Visceral Manipulation, Matrix Repatterning, myofascial release, imagery and movement, Frequency Specific Microcurrent, Integrative Systems Model. Please youtube Matrix Repatterning for Pelvic Floor Dysfunction to learn about one of these techniques. Looking forward to working with you when the timing is right for you.

I am Dr. Grace. I specialize in healing the deepest parts of ourselves. My practice is guided by equity, safety, and pleasure of all persons. This level of healing requires breaking down internal beliefs of not-enoughness. It is activism and liberation of the Self through the pelvis. This takes conscious awareness of the ancestoral lineage and collective traumas. Loving the You in your pelvis involves grounding, centering in your unique, freely expressed You. I like to think of the pelvis as a point of meeting between the heavens and the earth. I practice healing through Physical Therapy specializing in Women’s Health with an emphasis in Pelvic Health and Obstetric Health. Through trauma informed Medical Yoga Therapy TM, body/mind/spirit movement, breathwork, energy work, Compassionate Inquiry TM, Somatic ExperiencingTM, and various manual therapy techniques, I support relational deep healing. I came to this work through my own experiences with pelvic dysfunction, trauma, and pain. I learned how to give what I always needed.

As the founder of MamaBPT and mother of two girls, I have increasingly become passionate towards helping women through physical therapy. I started my career working with the general public in orthopedics and sports recovery. However, soon after I gave birth to my first daughter, I became interested in pelvic health physical therapy. Through my own recovery and specialized training, I learned to help other women achieve their pelvic health and overall physical goals.
